A i T S RN T NAVAL LORE 1S WELL KNOWNTO GEORGEV British King Was Trained for Sea Instead of Throne and Promoted on Merit. Py (he Associated Pres LONDON, January 10.—Fate has called George V, Great Britain's “Sailor King,” o open the five-power arms conference which will compose a new refrain about naval parity for that stirring old hymn “Rule Britannia, Britannia Rule the Waves.' Trained for the British Navy instead of for the throne, the British monarch probably could qualify for a post in the experts’ corps which will accompany the chief delegates to London, for from youth he planned a naval life and he had served 14 years afloat and com- manded his own ships before death called his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence, and turned his own career to higher and heavier responsibilities of government. Really Earned His Titles. The naval titles of King George are not merely honorary attributes of royal power. Before his illness last year ne | had the rugged body of an old seadog. | In his time he has paced the decks of | his own command, faced all the dangers | of tempest and tide, maneuvered with the fleet and brought his ship safely to ort. POIn his twelfth year, the present King and his elder brother became naval| cadets on the Britannia at Spithead | and step by step he rose on his merits | as an officer during 14 years' service in all parts of the world. After five years together, the two| brothers were separated, the elder to| prepare for kingship. Prince George | stuck to the sea. Already he had| visited South America, South Africa, Australia, the Fiji Islands, Japan, | Ceylon, Egypt. Palestine and Greece. | Appointed to H. M. S. Canada, on the North American and West Indian sta- | tion, Prince George became a sub-| licutenant. Goes Through Naval College. Upon his return to England he passed through the Royal Naval College at| Greenwich and the gunnery and tor- pedo schools, corresponding to training at Annapolis Naval Academy. In 1885 he was promoted lieutenant and served on H. M. S. Thunderer, Dreadnought and Alexandria, in the Mediterranean £quadron. In 1889 he was put in command of the gunboat Thrush for service on the North American and West Indian sta- tion. Two years later saw another promotion to commander of the H. M. S. Melampus. This command he re- linquished on the death of his brother. Duties as eventual heir to the British crown precluded continuous life at sea. In subsequent years he was pro moted captain, rear admiral and vice | admiral because of his royal position, but the lower ranks he earned on his merit as a saflor and naval officer. ‘Alone _among monarchs and presi- dents, King George is a trained service man. From his palace of Buckingham he will watch the proceedings of the naval negotiations in London with full knowledge and understanding of what | is happening.

WINTER PARK, Fla., January 10— With the body of Lenin lying in his tomb in Moscow “perfectly preserved under conditions opposite to those one would expect” as “the outstanding propaganda of Soviet Russia,” Victor A. Knauth, New York publicist, last night told Institute of Statesmanship that “Russia, the propagandists’ paradise, was far from successful at its own spe- cial game.” “Bolshevik Russia,” said Mr. Knauth, “demonstrates to all of us that what- ever may be said in favor of proj ganda must be based upon the funda- mental requirements that counter- propaganda be permitted. There are two sides to every question and both sides must be freely presented if the people are to reach a decision.” Russia. Mr. Knauth described as a “completely propagandized country.” “The schools are propaganda factories with training courses in Communism, which are carried through all age groups until the young men and women are ready and old enough to join the Com- | munist party itself. Here is a perfect system of continuous propaganda. “The moving picture is exploited to the limit as a weapon of propaganda, | with the government footing the bill. | The same procedure is applied to radio. Loud speakers, Summer or Winter, shout out from hundreds of street corners and village squares, producing intermi- nable speeches. “Newspapers of all sorts, including the famous wall newspapers or bulletin boards, are used, of course, and lastly, Lenin in his tomb under a glass canopy, | open to the public every afternocn.” FOR DRY LAW PROTEST January 16 Meeting to Be Me-| morial to Persons Killed in Enforcement.
